Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 129

A team is working on a project using an adaptive approach. During project execution, the project gets delayed by one month due to an unforeseen risk.

What should the team do next to deliver this project?

Answer options

• A. Reprioritize the work based on the increased visibility of the current risks.
• B. Accept the project delay and add the risk to the lessons learned document for the next project.
• C. Stop working on the project completely, even if the team can continue working on the tasks with the identified risk.
• D. Change the delivery date and deliver the initially agreed-upon scope after mitigation of the identified risk.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because reprioritizing work allows the team to focus on the most critical tasks and manage the newly understood risks effectively. Option B fails to address the project's immediate needs, while C halts progress unnecessarily. D may not be feasible if the team can mitigate the risk and continue working.
